Happy 6th Birthday Tori!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful big girl Vettoria!

We had my version of a low-key yet fabulous, party this year as we had Sarah and her kids living with us at the time. Our usual Saturday-Do just reeked of effort, so instead we opted to avoid school and church friends, and just have her girl cousins come and sleep the night (since half of them were already living with us anyway, haha). So during the July holidays we chose an afternoon for the six little cousins to come over for a girls night of six-year-old pampering and good girly-girl times.

The night began with eating a yummy rainbow cake (which was made as a gift by family friend Rachel Boland and she did a wonderful job, thank you so much Rach!!), followed by decorating and eating yummy cookies, followed by watching a Barbie movie (which stared a girl named Tori, "Super wow!!" :-), after which they ate lots of pizza and THEN put on lipstick and nail polish!! Yes, it was as exciting as it sounds. But it didn't end there! They then posed for photos, and did coloring in, before settling in for the night in lots of different beds where they slept soundly until breakfast the next morning. Upon awaking, they ate delish pancakes covered in syrup, and had a fun morning until their mothers came and collected them.

Phew! I'm worn out just typing it! I think I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking :-)
